My passion for the healing arts stems from my desire to help women enhance their mind-body connection in order to achieve balance and well being. After 5 years of working in a women's center, my life took a different path in 2005 when I decided to begin extensive training from Portland Oregon's East West College of the Healing Arts.  I quickly discovered how massage could bring out the strength, beauty and peace in every person and I fell in love with the job. I worked for a couple of local spas before I opened Aloha Massage in 2007.  I have found through my travels to Hawaii, that it is a place which has allowed me tremendous healing.  So...I created my own Portland version of this paradise.  Without the help and support of my wonderful family, friends and clients, I would not have been able to create this space and provide such a fulfilling service to my community.
